I would definitely not migrate to any editor that runs in the browser -- unless my entire environment were in the browser -- which FSM willing, will never happen. What you have to understand about my editor (emacs), is that it sucks. There, I said it. Emacs sucks. But emacs sucks less than everything else -- in part because it sits about as close to the bare metal as possible. And also because of emacs lisp, which I hate. And love...
